Using Theme functions in a plugin

[haijak]

I'm trying to hack the "RN Monthly Archives" plugin to add a small
function for the theme I'm building.

This line:
if($yr_mth->year == Theme::__get('year') and $yr_mth->month ==
Theme::__get('month')): $crnt = ' class="current"';

Gives this result:
Fatal error: Non-static method Theme::__get() cannot be called
statically, assuming $this from incompatible context

The research I have done leads me to believe that code should work.
But there seams to be something else needed to "initialize" the use of
the Theme class.

I could also be completely wrong. If somebody could help, I would Love
you.
Thanks

Hi Haijak

I hope I'm not too late in replying.

Unfortunately, your code doesn't have any surrounding context nor is
it in the plugin itself, so I can't see what you are doing or trying
to achieve, but the error you are seeing is technically correct.

The __get() function in theme.php is not a static function, so
shouldn't be called as such.

What you may find will work is to pass the $theme variable to your
function and then try calling __get() non-statically using the ->
operator. For example:

function theme_my_custom_class($theme) {
if($yr_mth->year == $theme->__get('year') and $yr_mth->month ==
$theme->__get('month')): $crnt = ' class="current"';
return $crnt;
}

You would then use this function within your theme using something like:

$theme->my_custom_class();

This is a very crude and over simplified function, but it illustrates
the point and should hopefully steer you in the right direction.
